This is the full and detailed views of the dust jacket for the first edition of The Wailing Wind, published in 2002 by Harper Collins. The dust jacket was designed by Peter Thorpe, who has designed and illustrated over 40 Hillerman editions and whose work has become the iconic imagery associated with Hillerman's novels. The design features a sand-painting figure in front of a mountain landscape scene. The back cover of the dust jacket has a photograph of Tony Hillerman taken by Kelly Campbell.
